  Guile is in Street Fighter 6

  If America were a fighting game character, it'd be Guile.
  
  Capcom showed off a new trailer today for the recently announced Street Fighter 6. This trailer, shown off at Summer Game Fest 2022, features the first look at Guile, otherwise known as "America's hero" apparently. That's what the press release tells me and that's what I'm telling you.
  
  Guile is the fifth officially revealed character for Street Fighter 6. He will be fighting with and against others such...

  Depending on Who You Ask: Everyone or Nobody at DICE is Currently Working on Battlefield 2042

  Schrödinger's development team.
  
  Depending on who you listen to and who you believe, either a "skeleton crew" is left working on Battlefield 2042 development, or the entire team at DICE is still working on the game.
  
  Back in April, the idea that there were only a handful of people left working on Battlefield 2042 started to circulate online. When asked how many people were still working on 2042, DICE game designer Frederik Drabert said that "almost everyone"...

  Fortnite Might Add a First-Person Mode

  This is perhaps not the FPS from Epic you were looking for.
  
  Epic Games is no stranger to first-person shooters, what with them having made several of them with the Unreal franchise and all. Lately, their real bread and butter has been found in Fortnite, a game that is very much not an FPS.
  
  That might be changing in the near future. Known Fortnite data miner and leaker, HYPEX, shared that Epic Games is developing a first-person camera mode for their battle royale.

  E3 Returns in 2023 as Online and In-Person Event

  In addition to an online show, E3 will also feature an in-person event for the first time since 2019.
  
  A Washington Post interview with ESA president and CEO Stan Pierre-Louis, says that E3 will return in 2023 and will be both online and an in-person event. This will be the first in-person E3 event since 2019 due to COVID-related cancellations and whatnot.
  
  When word about E3 2022's cancellation came about, it was said that E3 was returning in 2023. At the time, we did not...

  Battlefield 2042 Update 1.0 Patch Notes

  Yes, 1.0. We're up to version 1.0 after the game has been out now for almost 200 days.
  
  Battlefield 2042 is truly the gift that keeps on giving. I mean that in the most condescending way possible here. Since Battlefield 2042 officially launched on November 19, 2021 it has received zero content updates while the team at DICE worked to make the game less of a steaming mess of a pile. The first season for the game is, at last, finally upon us and with it comes a rather anemic amount of...

  Microsoft Makes Java and Bedrock Editions of Minecraft a Single Purchase

  You can still play each version separately.
  
  The tale of the two separate versions of Minecraft on PC is an odd one. A while back, if you had purchased the Java version of Minecraft prior to October 19, 2018, you were able to claim a free copy of the non-Java built Bedrock Edition for free. All you had to do was tie your existing Mojang account to your Microsoft account.
  
  If you didn't own the game prior to that 2018 cutoff date, you could still get Minecraft, but you apparently...

  Master of Hype Geoff Keighley Says to Not Get Too Hyped for Summer Game Fest

  The event will mainly focus on already announced games.
  
  If you were looking for the Summer Game Fest to come out swinging with announcements like Bloodborne 2 or Bloodborne on PC or even Bloodborne Kart Racer, you may be severely disappointed. The master of hype himself, Geoff Keighley, has come out to say that the Summer Game Fest will be "primarily focused" on games that were already announced.
  
  And when Keighley is saying to keep those expectations in check,...
